New Testament Criticism: a fresh approach by Professor C. H. Dodd
Previous talks in this series have referred to the text of the New Testament and the environment in which early Christianity took shape. In this talk Professor Dodd considers the shift of interest which can be noted in modern books about the New Testament. Older works, especially those published before 1914, were mostly concerned with questions of authorship and sources. These questions are still discussed but no longer hold so prominent a place.
